What about that big black dude "how do you know someone was here?" was rather "big".

Bluepills: They live their life as normal, they believe they are eating/running etc, so the physical change to them will be directly connected to the code altering their weight in relation to this. Meanwhile we all know that their actual physical change in the real is not connected to this, because they are being feed intravenously.

So for bluepills, there IS people overweight, hell even for programs, unless you think the Oracle was a fit healthy athlete.

Redpills: Once you awaken from the Matrix, you will possibly see a new physical change, which should effect your RSI (theory?), therefore you should be less likely to see overweight redpills, if any.

In the movies, the RSI and the Real were the same actors, but the truth is... would people really gain that much weight? i.e Morpheus and others.

Genetic engineering. Grown people are grooooooown.

Why would the Machines create a crop of people that introduced risk factors (obesity causes so many potentially fatal health problems) into the equation? It would be their most sincere desire to delete such variables.

RON PAUL, anon. I herd yuo liek mudkips.

 I agree with the idea that people are vain enough to believe they look good, thus, in the matrix, they look good.

 There'd be a smattering of people with BDI though... well... V-BDI, really (V for virtual) so I guess a few fatties would exist. Harpoon tiem naow plz?

In the real it takes alot of dev time to make content aka model shapes that wouldn't be commonly used. So I would imagine (I am guessing) that way back when the decision was to make more stylized body types for normal npcs.

Hence the overweight concept just wasn't a priority...

Oh wait you wanted an RP answer?.... hrmmmm

There are fat people in the matrix, you just have to wear the right roca.

/b/ much? jesus...

No no, RAPTOR jesus.

 Also, check out trinity's *CENSORED* in reloaded and revolutions and compare it to the first one.

 Evidence that there ARE people with fat body parts in the matrix (and what's amusing is that this is AFTER carrie-anne's *CENSORED* and thighs were digitally reduced.)

PJ looks like a body type 4 ... in a commando gear! If he wore a ROCA, oh gawd, "it" would exceed the limits of the matrix.
